Publication dateAugust 2012
publication pdfCommon Core State Standards: State Spotlights

High-quality Common Core State Standards (also, the Common Core or CCSS) implementation impacts student learning through improvements in instruction and clarity of purpose between educators, students, and parents. Good Common Core implementation should result in more students having the powerful, engaging, and challenging learning experiences that prepare them for success in college and career. Specifically, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) believes high-quality Common Core implementation includes the following elements:

  • System alignment and systems change
  • Educator supports
  • Student supports
  • Communication and Engagement
The following spotlights are offered to:
  • equip CCSSO's Implementing the Common Core Standards (ICCS) state coaches with examples of state actions and resources to share with state implementation teams as needs arise; and
  • provide all states with quick access to sample practices they can quickly and easily review.
This resource is offered as a way to facilitate ongoing networking; the examples selected are fluid and will change over time.  Examples were chosen based on quality and accessibility of information via the web. It is intended to be a quick reference document to support the sharing of lessons learned. If you have a resource you would like to share from your state, please contact Katey McGettrick.
